In the Wild

Jurassic World Is Eerily Like SeaWorld, And Everyone Noticed

This weekend, the much-anticipated movie "Jurassic World" finally came out ... and the similarities to SeaWorld were pretty uncanny. You thought you were the only one who noticed it? Nope. The masses took to Twitter after the release to share their thoughts, and the results were pretty overwhelming: "Jurassic World" is exactly like SeaWorld, and an excellent example of why places like that shouldn't exist.

Just like the captive dinosaurs in the movie, SeaWorld's orcas spend their entire lives in tiny tanks, with not nearly enough room to really live. "Jurassic World" definitely threw some major shade at SeaWorld - and everyone is OK with it. Here are a few tweets from people who totally picked up on the movie's anti-SeaWorld vibe.

Pretty much everyone noticed the similarities between "Jurassic World" and SeaWorld ... and really hopes SeaWorld will take the hint:

Must see Jurassic World identical to #SeaWorld- creating genetic hybrids, calling them "assets" and all for exploitation and money. Uncanny.

If dialogue from new Sea World ads was inserted into Jurassic World you'd see through it and know who the bad guys are.

— Bernardo Villela (@BernardoVillela)

Sea World dropped their new commercial the same weekend Jurassic World comes out... that's a bad idea.

— Brian Losoya (@brianlosoya)

Jurassic World should serve as an example to SeaWorld. Once you stop seeing the animals as actual living, feeling beings, only bad will come

The resemblances between Jurassic World & places like #seaworld is uncanny http://t.co/DgJ6PsMzdz

#JurassicSeaWorld? They call the animals assets, use animals for entertainment & breed hybrids until the animals strike out. #Blackfish

Jurassic world is a mirror to what we do at Sea World & zoo's. captivity is real

Some people were super sassy about the similarities:

Jurassic World's PR team is basically Sea World's PR team, but less obnoxious.

If orcas could watch movies Jurassic World would be their favorite...#justsaying #SeaWorld #JurasicWorld #Blackfish

Pretty messed up that Jurassic World took all those dinosaurs from the wild and put them in small enclosures. Kinda like @SeaWorld

— Griffin Conley (@Griffin1994)

Jurassic World marketing really messed up not doing a mock of one of those "our animals love being in captivity" ads Sea World been running

— deestiv (@deestiv)

There should be a version of Jurassic world but at SeaWorld, and instead of dinosaurs a killer whale goes crazy/kills a trainer. Oh wait.

— Jay Cizeski (@jayciz)

And, of course, some people actually mistook a "Jurassic World" commercial ... for a SeaWorld commercial:

THE FIRST TIME I SAW A JURASSIC WORLD TRAILER I THOUGHT IT WAS FOR SEA WORLD AND I WAS GONNA THROW A FIT ANd then it wasn't for sea world

— nicole (@NicoleKister)

There is one huge difference between "Jurassic World" and SeaWorld though: "Jurassic World" is just a movie, and the captive orcas at SeaWorld are very, very real.
